Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) holds transformative potential for many fields. However, identifying suitable tasks for artificial intelligence implementation remains a challenge. This study proposes an Artificial Intelligence Readiness Task Assessment (AIRTA) tool, empowering finance professionals to assess task suitability for AI implementation. Artificial intelligence adoption often encounters costs, compatibility, and skill gaps. The proposed AIRTA addresses these challenges. AIRTA is designed following the design science research approach, ensuring it is user-friendly and effectively addresses real-world challenges. AIRTA consists of three sections: task framing, task assessment, and results interpretation. Unlike existing methodologies focusing on organization-wide artificial intelligence readiness, the proposed tool centers on task-specific readiness. This innovative approach provides practical guidance for finance professionals seeking to leverage artificial intelligence and helps organizations realize the potential of AI more effectively.
